Must Have Makeup Tools Part I

Makeup brushes are probably one of the most important yet often overlooked beauty products. So what is so great about them? Using a brush not only gives you a more precise application, but is also a great tool for blending.

Below is a list of makeup brushes I believe everyone should have handy:

1. Small eyeshadow brush – use this to apply eyeshadow in the inner corner, on the crease or on the brow bone.

2. Medium eyeshadow brush – use this to apply eyeshadow all over the lid.
